Do animals show any special care towards our children?

Do animals show any special care towards our children? by Michael Clapp

Answer by Michael Clapp:

I have no doubt those dogs would have defended the boys to the death despite being very mellow and tolerated manhandling and other indignities from toddlers that they wouldn’t have put up with otherwise.
